Abstract: This invention relates to a semiconductor device ( 105 ) and a method of manufacturing this device. A preferred embodiment of the invention is a semiconductor device ( 105 ) comprising a silicon semiconductor substrate ( 110 ), an oxide layer ( 115 ) and an active layer ( 120 ). In the active layer, insulating areas ( 125 ) and an active area ( 127 ) have been formed. The active area ( 127 ) comprises a source ( 180 ), a drain ( 182 ) and a body ( 168 ). The source ( 180 ) and drain ( 182 ) also comprise source and drain extensions ( 184, 186 ). The active layer ( 120 ) is provided with a gate ( 170 ). On both sides of the gate ( 170 ), L-shaped side wall spacers are located. The source ( 180 ) and drain ( 182 ) also comprise silicide regions ( 190, 192 ). A characteristic of these regions is that they have extensions ( 194, 196 ) located under the side wall spacers ( 136, 138 ). These extensions ( 194, 196 ) strongly reduce the series resistance of the source ( 194 ) and drain ( 196 ), which significantly improves the performance of the semiconductor device ( 105 ).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method or preparing fatty acid alkyl esters from fatty acids contained in co-product streams, or waste or recycled fatty acid stock. The present method utilizes an acidic resin to convert the fatty acid stock into esters. The present method encompasses the use of reactive simulated moving bed chromatography, wherein above about 95 percent of the fatty acid stock is converted to fatty acid alkyl esters. The present method has been optimized to separate the ester product from the raffinate stream formed during the chromatographic process, thereby improving the yield of the esterification and preventing acid hydrolysis of the ester.

Abstract: It is possible to reduce audio quality degradation caused by a pre-echo and bit shortage. An acoustic analysis unit (11) analyzes an audio signal and acquires a perception entropy as a parameter expressing the number of bits required for quantization. An encoding bit quantity monitoring unit (12) monitors the number of encoded bits when an audio signal is encoded and acquires an excessive number of bits as the number of bits which can be used in the current frame. According to a combination of the perception entropy and the excessive number of bits, a frame division quantity decision unit (13) decides the division quantity for dividing the one frame of the audio signal into N from 1 to N. An orthogonal conversion unit (14) divides the one frame by the decided division quantity and performs orthogonal conversion of the audio signal by the divided block length unit so as to obtain an orthogonal conversion coefficient. A quantization unit (15) quantizes the orthogonal conversion coefficient by the block length unit.

Granted: 2009-06-03
Abstract: A battery-powered grease gun is provided for enhancing the pressure applied to a blocked grease fitting. The grease comprises a circuit interconnecting the battery and an electric motor. The circuit includes a switch operable by a user and a thermal protector for breaking the circuit at a predetermined temperature. When applying grease to a blocked grease fitting, actuating the switch until the thermal protector reaches the predetermined temperature breaks the circuit until the motor cools and the thermal protector resets for completing the circuit and again energizing the motor. Continuing to maintain the switch in the actuated position until the thermal protector resets causes the pressure in the grease gun to increase with each cycle of the thermal protector.
